[Verse 1]
D C
Somewhere in Vietnam a 19 year old soldier walked out of a bar room,
C D
And he said I must be seeing things that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat.
D C
In Belfast, Ireland a little lady dropped her shovel in her garden,
C D
She raced across the yard and asked her neighbor Mrs. Clancy what was that?
[Verse 2]
D C
In Memphis, Tennessee a teacher raised the window closest to the river,

And the children in her classroom swore they heard a choir singing down the street.

In Washington, DC a private secretary's lips began to quiver,
C D
And the President just put aside his papers and rose quickly to his feet.
[Verse 3]
E D
I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else's woman
D E
When a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night.
E D
I jumped out of bed and ran into the streets with hardly any clothes on
D E
As the sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face was turning white.
[Refrain]
A E
All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory,
E B
And I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen were looking straight at me.
[Verse 4]
D C
I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sound of my own screaming,
C D
And it didn't take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees.
D C
As tears rolled down my face I cried dear God I'm thankful I was only dreaming,
C D
And if I never go to Hell, Lord, it'll be because you scared it out of me.
